Location, Location, Location!

How many times have you heard "Location, location, location!"? Well, it's true! 9 out of 10 people come in to our office looking for "a log cabin, on a couple of acres, with views and trees, privacy, close to the Breckenridge Ski Resort, and would love to have a stream, river, or pond on it". And Fairplay has it all!

Let's break down the most common desires and tell you what Fairplay, Alma and the surrounding areas have to offer.

1. Log Cabin - Most people's dream is to own a log cabin in the mountains. Usually a 3 bedroom or a 2 bedroom plus loft with 2 bathrooms. Park County has many log cabins to offer at a much better price per square foot than the nearby resort towns. Of course, we also have many other types of homes as well.

2. Acreage - Fairplay and the surrounding South Park area has very affordable acreage compared to the resort areas. Where as a half an acre or so about 10 minutes from Breckenridge starts at $50,000 and an in-town Breckenridge 1.14 acre lot is priced at $1,500,000; Fairplay acreage starts at $16,900 for a .92 acre lot within about 40 minutes to Breckenridge, all the way up to $2,130,000 for a great 2,123 acre ranch within an hour to Breck.

3. Views and Trees - South Park is a very large and a geographically diverse area. We have land available up high (11,000 feet or so) and down low (9,000 feet or so), with and without trees and views (and rock out-croppings). And we do have some of the best views around. Of course as with anywhere you go, the better the views and trees, the higher the lot prices.

4. Privacy - There are plenty of areas in Park County with privacy. Very few areas in the resort towns have privacy but they do exist (at a higher price, of course).

5. Close to Breckenridge - Alma is about 20 minutes to Breckenridge, Fairplay about 25 minutes. Basically, if you're willing to drive a little further, you'll get much more for your money and still be close to world-class skiing (not to mention a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course). Just as an fyi...Keystone is 25 minutes from Breckenridge, Copper is 40 minutes to Breck, Arapahoe Basin is 40 minutes to Breck, Loveland about an hour away. Vail is a little over an hour from Breck (all times approximate).

6. Streams, Rivers, or Ponds - The Fairplay area is well known for it's Gold-Medal Fly Fishing and we also have several lakes and ponds within driving distance.
